The main risk of sugar isn't the calories themselves, but rather their effect on our fullness perception. That is, the more sugar we eat, the harder it is to feel full after eating something. This in return cases a vicious cycle, one that can easily lead into obesity. I don't know if that same issue can happen with sweeteners but I don't generally trust anything that tricks our senses to such a degree. I don't consider coffee the holy grail either, it's just that its negative health effects have been tested for ages and are acceptable for its overall benefits. But that's my own risk assessment, with only my health in the line.

It's hard to get a good grip on the health neutrality of diet soda when the companies who make them have lied to us about sugar for decades. Maybe sweeteners are just their next lie, who knows. Much of the research done on sweeteners is funded by the ones who profit from it. The food industry have far more power than anyone should be comfortable with them having.

My bet is on the cloudy sky. The crane is bound to run out of energy before doing any real damage.

Doesn't really matter if the economy got bigger if it just means more money to corporations. The average person has certainly not seen growth. A mortage increase of 5% coupled with low wage increases, high food and fuel inflation left most people much worse off.

Then again, this unit of measure has always been a very poor one in countries with huge wealth gaps.

I don't think hands are good at peeling potatoes. Maybe if you sharpen your nails?

Would slowing them down be enough? I'm thinking along the lines of a magnet.

Reminds me of ant lines.

That's amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

I apologise for the tiktok link but I have to

Remote is something I'd only enable while using it. Once found my ubuntu (I use arch btw) with the setting on for some reason. Might be worth checking even if you never turned it on.
